[quote=Anonymous]Re: Deferring I am helping my 2nd child navigate the application process. Kid 1 was theatre, so auditions and prescreens were a factor. We also can only do full pay at a state school. Others would require some FA/Loans. This means early decision was not going to work for a private or out of state school. Kid 2 is athletic, and grades got better as they got older. Scores got higher on standardized tests. We decided to apply later to highlight progress. A lot of their classmates were told that if they apply early, they will have an advantage, and lots of families said, "If they get into (Georgetown, U-Penn, Brown) we will find a way to pay for it...)" but so many people seemed to do that, really straining the applicant pool. Defer is not "no". Defer is like how the kids say they are "talking to" someone instead of dating. The late application process has helped us to stay sane(r). [/quote]
